i am toying with the idea of bringing jaspar to the Liz clinic. For one thing, it would be interesting to see what she could do with a "lost cause". as for his paceyness, is the degree of paceyness based on how often they pace, or how awful it is. because the latter was how I was judging it. His hard pace is actually completely unbearable, intolerable to seat. He will throw your rear at least six inches in the air and when you slam down you know it cant be good for his back. But his steppingpace is very pleasant and so is his canter. but honestly he hasnt hard paced with me in over a year...
and also would be nice to bring him to the clinic since last year the whole time riding traveller i was slightly "on edge" because he is not my horse, i had never ridden him but maybe twice in the yard and as a result I didnt know him, did not know how he would react to things and I sorta dreaded getting on him the whole time. would be so nice to have my jas that I can always feel relaxed on and never afraid. even when he acts terrible i feel relaxed cause i know him...
